Exposure
Allows you to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. You can check how much it
differs from the appropriate exposure by using the exposure level indicator. This mode gives
you more creative control, allowing you to make whatever settings you like, regardless of the
correct exposure.
Set the mode dial to M and turn the control dial to set the
value.
• The range of aperture values available varies with the lens type.
• The shutter speed can be set to 1/4000 - 60 sec. or [BULB].
•In M mode the exposure level indicator will be displayed. It shows the difference (ranging
from -3 EV to +3 EV) between the exposure value calculated by the currently selected
aperture and shutter speed and the exposure value considered optimum by the camera. If
the difference exceeds ±3 EV, the entire indicator blinks.
Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are
caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not
normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or
image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting
in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise
reduction function.
